We're all Actors

My strategy follows a series of formulas that make up a human being and the life that they lived. The characters are basically what makes up the setting, they give purpose to a setting. Even though some settings can speak for themself, like Trump towers. The characters are a series of people who interact with the main character, how I would write it as if each person was they’re own individual. As if they were each living their own lives, and where do these lives come from? Well from you, silly. The best way to write a character is to use yourself or someone you know, most stories are redundant and follow something that has already happened. When writing the story you are basically telling what this person would do in the situation, this is an idea that you will be expanding on for the whole movie. Understand you can have as many ideas, thoughts, and concepts as long as it helps progress to the ending you intended. These all go into the main characters story, where is he from? Is he white or Asian? Is it a he? What are his special skills? Or is there nothing special about him? What about his background, if our main character was from the U. S. then the character will grow up living a certain lifestyle based on racial and wealth status. Give this person identity, make a connection with these characters. As you path the road for this character's life you should feel as if you were being put through the same trials, then figure out resolutions. These resolutions are for the main conflict, what are the issues you are going to put your creation through. Some creators use their powers as gods of this world and give the protagonist more than he can beare, and in the end the hero stands alone in an unwinnable fight. He falls to euphoric music as the camera zooms out on his last moments, while other gods are more merciful and end with a cheerful setting. Where everyone is magically brought back to life, which is lazy writing. Please avoid this at all cost if you find yourself at a brick walk, get some air and think deep about a clever and never seen before “ending”. The conflict has to be a strong enough reason for someone who would want to listen or appeal to a certain group of people. Issues like being alive during an apocalypse or zombieworld in Asia, To keep track of all ideas write them down like bullet points. Are we following the role of a survivor, an agent or as a zombie. As the creator you give this person in life and unlike the character you know what he's going to do with it. The character's life like yours is on a timeline, you have 60 to 99 pages minimum based off of the assignment to tell a well understood story. What makes a story that is so good isn’t the flashy thing you put in front of people, like in 6 Underground with Ryan Renolds. It lacked dialog and character development; however, it did have amazing action scenes. How high 2 is another example, it’s hard to take the movie seriously when it comes to it’s weak dialog and sense of humor. As a black person I want to speak to the black artist who read this, the black ignorant narrative has grown stale it honestly looks more like “COON” sh@$. I love Raven-Symone, her show “That So Raven” had a great story line following the life of a teenage girl with a loving black family. When I first saw her sequel “Raven’s House” it was a book of black cliches, the story of a single black mother raising two kids isn’t the lifestyle most people want to live. The kids in the story suffer from it too since they’re father doesn't come around, I want to inspire “you” since you have read this far, avoid repeating what has already been made and avoid the obvious. Surprise the viewer, this is not meant to be an insult but to give you the advantage. If I were to rewrite the story “Raven’s House” Raven would be a married mother of two, she’s a successful fashion designer and her kids are just as talented as they’re father who is an inventor. Because Raven had a strong supportive father and mother she would have had more than this sad reality of “Raven’s House”.
